Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0147005A2] The oxidation of carbon fibers from pitch is carried out directly by winding the spun fiber (1) on to a spinning spool or bobbin (2), said spool (2) comprising an open ended, porous, non-expanding, non-collapsible spool. The spun carbon fibers (1) are wound to leave open areas between fiber bundles. A mixture of an inert gas, for example nitrogen, containing a minor amount of oxygen is used as the oxidising gas. Oxidation is carried out in a closed zone at a temperature that is initially below the glass transition temperature of the carbon fibers and is slowly increased over the oxidation time to a maximum of about 340°C. The gaseous oxidation atmosphere is preferably continuously recycled and passed through the spool (2) to ensure that the fibers (1) are essentially completely oxidised.
